This will be short and sweet. I have sucked at making it to the gym. I did, however, make it to spin class tonight and survived the one-hour class. I am a new lover of spin. My first class sucked BIG TIME, but with the persistence of my friend Jinger and the hot pair of Specialized “Spirita” bike shoes she purchased for me I have zero excuses. On a side note, who does that? I guess I have one amazing friend who really wants to ensure this baby flab sheds quickly enough for us to make it to her early Vegas soiree.

Here’s the stats:

Weight Loss: 157.5 pounds, down 1.5 pounds

BMI: 25.33 down a smidgen.

I did pass my first deadline this Wednesday. I was supposed to have made it to my first goal weight of 148 but with limited (or no) gym time I am lucky that I am only 9.5 pounds away. Which just sounds crazy in itself that I am that close. Dear spin, help me shed this 9.5 pounds within the next month. Pretty, pretty please!

Check out my bike-a-licious shoes. Be jealous. 😀

Tonight I am heading to my first spin class with my friend Jinger. I am really excited because we live minutes a part but I have only seen her while doing a wig pub crawl or Vegas trips. She has two other ladies coming, one who has a three-month-old, which makes me happy to meet other mommy’s who live close. God knows I need more mommy friends close to me.

Last week: Weight loss was the same. 🙁

This week: 160 pounds, down 2.2 pounds since last week. YIPPEE! This brings my total weight loss to 10 pounds. I have 14 to go to my pre–preggo weight (well, my weight as of my first OB/GYN pre-natal appointment) and then another 8 pounds or so to go by June. I am very satisfied but I still have a long, long journey to go. But I am going to do it!

BMI: 25.83

We’ll see how the first week back at work affects my weight loss. :/

Happy Easter Pretty, Pretty Readers!

Well, I changed the name and day of my weigh-in’s. I realized last week that I was supposed to be weighing in on Friday’s for Jillian’s program so here we are two days later. I have been doing really well in regards to what I am eating. I no longer crave carbs, which is huge because at one point in my life I could solely live off of them. I have also cut out real butter, which is another huge feat in itself because I love butter like Paula Deen love’s bacon. I even went shopping for me the other day and braved myself to take a chance to try on jeans. I got a size 11 on, which was great, but I couldn’t button them up. I wasn’t upset, just happy that this number wasn’t a size 16. It also means that with an additional ten pounds I will be in my pre–preggo jeans. I attempted putting on my size 28 Hudson’s but my thighs are still a little big, but with hope and a lot of hard work I plan on getting back into these in the next month. I have reached a point where the saying, “it took nine months to get your body where it is, so don’t expect miracles overnight” finally sunk in. FINALLY. I also think that seeing the previews for Kendra’s new season turned on a light bulb. I will probably write about the show after seeing it Sunday night, but I have a feeling that what Kendra experiences in that episode is how I am feeling.

Okay, this weeks numbers:

Weight: 162 : down one pound from last week. Total weight loss: 8 pounds

BMI: 26.15 : down slightly from last week (26.22)

Next week I will have measurements to start tracking.

and. . . for your viewing pleasure of my flab, here are two pictures. The first one is of me on Christmas Day, seven days after I gave birth. The second was taken today. There is clearly a huge difference, but still a whole lotta work ahead!

Weigh-In:

Weight: 163 : this number is the same. It’s better than gaining weight, right?
